There are few problems with it at the moment.

Neil will elaborate later.

All seems to be working again.

Log off to clear all your old cookies and then log in again should fix it.

Hmm... not sure that all is OK.
I have just tried to visit the Renovate Forum and my computer pulled me up and said - don't go there - there are problems.

We have had a couple of attacks by lowlife mongrels who have somehow been able to get some malicious code embedded into the forums which ended up in the site being listed as unsafe by Google.

We have been working on this since 12:03am Sunday morning and it was finally resolved late Sunday afternoon. We could not find anything wrong with the site at all. Although I have implimented a couple of measures that will helpfully make it harder for this to happen again.

This has now been resolved as far as Google is concerned and hopefully will not happen again. But no guarantee. It is possible that the odd virus program may list the site as dangerous for a little while because they belatedly picked up the info from the Google report, but there is definitely not a problem right now.

We have done everything in our power to thwart these people, but some just see it as a bigger challenge. These attacks are going on continuously and have been since late last year when one of the major Human Verification programs was cracked.

We still get around 450-500 spammers trying to break into the forums every day, but this malware stuff is something new.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers - Neil
